So I have officially been converted to a fan of OKRA!!
This most nutritious yet maligned vegetable used to be one of the very few items I used to say I disliked “because it is slimy”. It was slimy because the person who made it for me the first time did not know how to cook it! ♀️ ♀️ That’s what @sowinlovefarm & @elevatefarmsllc kept telling me… (thank you ladies for your persistence & defense of okra goodness).
So, when my friend Aleta was kind enough to bring me some #okra from her garden, thank you, Aleta! ; I decided it was finally time to give it a try.
I looked up #okrarecipes & came across this one (included in the pictures) from @norufus – it was quick, easy & the flavors seemed up my alley. The only thing I changed (because I did not have smoked paprika, only regular) is to use chipotle powder to add smokiness & heat (vs. cayenne pepper).
It turned out so good I almost ate it all immediately. Gave some to @q_the_coach to try (another former okra hater) & he loved it too!
So, what I am saying is:
1. If there are any healthy things you don’t like, try a different method of cooking them. You may find yourself surprised to love them.
2. I am definitely planting okra next season! Lots & lots of okra. ❤️
